#2 "Pardon me, sir, but I do not believe that competitors in the biathlon are allowed to use squad assault weapons."

#4 So an extra assualt carrier parks near Northern Italy and Aviano gets an expanded "security force" following a "terrorist threat".

Seriously,I doubt even Islamic terrorists are stupid enough to attack the Olympics. Maybe Rome or somewhere else during them,but not the Olympics.

#5 fine - Italy is held totally responsible for the safety of our athletes and staff . They just added 45,000 needed agents on THEIR budget

#6 I can see Italy's problem. Where do you draw the line? If you let the U.S. come armed, how about the U.K.? Turkey? Iraq? Iran? Pakistan? Better that everyone check their weapons at the door.

#7 Just like Jackson Hole. Wherever liquor's served you'll find pegs by the door. Hnag 'em up and c'mon in.

#8 The countries ~~bribing~~ competing for oleo-lympic venues have no concept of the bottom line. They are in it for the prestige. Their taxpayers are held captive while the promotors raid the treasury to cover cost explosions. Just like Greece....heh heh.
